Chef Jun-Woo Park Defends Fellow Chef Sung-Jae Ahn Amidst Online Criticism Over 'Dubai Chewy Cookie' Recipe
On his YouTube channel 'Jun-Woo Park's Delicious Junne', Chef Park uploaded a video titled 'Understanding Chef Sung-Jae Ahn's Feelings While Making Dubai Chewy Cookie'.
In the video, Chef Park opted for pistachio paste instead of the commonly used pistachio spread, creating his own unique recipe.
During the cooking process, Chef Park shared his honest thoughts about the dessert's form. He remarked, "When I first heard the name 'Dubai Chewy Cookie', I expected it to be flat like a typical cookie with marshmallow inside, but the trending style was completely different," expressing his surprise.
Previously, Chef Ahn attempted to make the Dubai Chewy Cookie at his daughter's earnest request. Despite her pleas, he insisted on modifying the recipe, which led to criticism from netizens for altering the original. The video sparked heated debate, garnering over 13,000 comments, and eventually led Chef Ahn to revise and improve his recipe in what he called an 'A/S' session.
